How do I get this produced? How strong can I make it?

[Scott.bender]

I am new to creating products and am not a engineer at all. Does anyone have any feedback as to how, where, and what metal I can use to get this hook off the ground. Will this hook support 50lbs if made out of aluminum or zinc?

How do you intend to make this part? Is it meant to be cast, 3D Printed or machined? How many of this part are you looking to make, 1, 100, 1000, 1MM? The surface is very irregular and the gap for where I presume you intend to hang the hook is very small, this could be very difficult to manufacture as it stands.

I think I am going to use investment casting and use stainless steel so the hook is strong enough. I have been exploring the HWTrek services on fusion and have been learning a lot.

The volume will be low about 100 at first. With the small gap If its too small Ill probably need to re think the design. A two part system maybe to sandwich the mollie strap. (Picture)
